Most Prestigious Banking Firms

Banking professionals across the nation rank the prestige of the firms that they compete against.

Survey Methodology

Approximately 2,400 banking professionals filled out Vault's
Banking Survey in the spring and summer of 2017. The survey was
sent to professionals at more than 85 of the top investment banking
firms in the industry. Banking professionals were asked to rate
companies with which they were familiar on a scale of 1 to 10, with
10 being the most prestigious. They were not allowed to rate their
own (or former) employer. Vault averaged the prestige scores for
each firm and ranked them in order.
